This is why you shouldn't go to art school.Īlong your path to graduating with an art degree, you are more than likely going to financially scrape the bottom. And some of you will do anything it takes to become a great artist. People are just born with that certain flame in their hearts and a creative mind, to boot. If you really do have the gift, you know very well that you don't choose art. It could be exciting, rewarding and enlightening, but if you want a life of luxury, this isn't the career choice for you. Let me be the first to tell you that the life of an artist is far from luxurious. Where to begin? Oh, let’s just start with the obvious factor: money. I, myself, have been to art school, and even though I gained some knowledge from it, it was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made in my life. I might come off sounding like a complete ass in this article, but it's only because I’m being brutally honest in trying to give you some advice. Twenty years ago, I would have said, "GO FOR IT!" But this is 2013, baby, and college isn't getting any cheaper. So you want to be an artist? Good for you! You want to go to art school? Well, now you're just being silly.
